Thierry has done very good work, there is an ATAPI Thing so that every
ATAPI device can be programmed for. You can even play around with it from
SBASIC!!! See sample basic program.
The problem I see is the annoying Slaving mechanism of SMS. It terribly
slows down the machine, so how can you create the data stream needed for
burning?

I burn CDs under Q60 Linux (for example backing up my SMS file systems).
Now I can access the CDs from SMS! (Be careful, the drivers is still in
the testing phase)

Yes, we cannot be thankful enough.

I've tested Audio CD playing and reading of QLWA file systems with
qxltool, it works well on Q40 and Q60! Has someone tested the CDROM driver
with Qubide?
